Boarding & Training

Raspberry Ridge Boarding

Located in the heart of hunt country, at Raspberry Ridge Farms we offer live-on-site management by professional, experienced horse people. We typically have approximately 35 horses on our 300 acre property. Their care is tailored to the individual needs of the horse or pony, and includes 24/7 outdoor living with hay, pasture and run in shelters, assisting with blanketing needs, handling for regularly scheduled farrier and vet visits, a herd health management program (optional), and specialized feeding and care for older or more fragile horses. The price for boarding begins at a standard rate, but will be adjusted based on individual needs.

Our happy, outdoor horses have a natural, healthy lifestyle with lots of pasture and miles of trails, and spend the majority of their time outdoors. We have a soft spot for our older horses and try to keep their lives natural with as much turnout as possible, but use blankets and stabling in bad weather.

Our boarders tend to be those who love cross-country jumping/hacking and the opportunity to school, enjoy clinics or take lessons in our new, all-weather sand ring. They are a relaxed, supportive group who enjoy riding together and helping each other, creating a warm and supportive riding community. Our proximity to the esteemed Ottawa Valley Hunt makes us the perfect options for those who are members, or who wish to try the sport.
